To find out more about the feature, I met with Apple’s senior director of platform product marketing, Kurt Knight, who not only explained how it all works but also gave us a demo.

    I think it’s super cool and I love the new satellite animation. I have a feeling sooner or later Apple is going to tie this into some sort of subscription package requirement like Apple One. Emergency SOS on the other hand pretty much will have to remain subscription free since God forbid someone dies because they didn’t have a required subscription. It’d be a PR nightmare.

    How sure are you that it is FREE (at least for now)? If so, how much? I am interested because I cruise monthly.

    I go to festivals a lot, how about the other end if they don’t have cellular connection. Will they receive my text?

    will it work well on an airplane at altitude?

  18. @Dogsnark

    June 14, 2024 at 3:40 pm

    I wonder a lot of things…what satellite is this? how is it paid for? what technology in the phone connects to the satellite? could you use satellite exclusively instead of having an Internet connection? can other cell phone makers offer this service also?

    Raising the phone two feet makes no difference, but turning 90 degrees does? Lol

    So… You need to spin around to send messages now

  23. @TonyPadgett

    June 14, 2024 at 8:51 pm

    So, I have trouble getting a cell phone connection yet satellite is fine? Weird. How does a phone have enough power/signal to send a signal up to a satellite? Inquiring minds want to know!

  24. @arizona5253

    June 14, 2024 at 9:22 pm

    Did you ask if the reply text come back to the Apple representative via satellite?

  25. @arizona5253

    June 14, 2024 at 9:25 pm

    If I’m in a low signal area and my wife is not, and she sends me a text will it go to a satellite and then down to me?
